so-soI really like the approach of this book, having a nonfiction and a fiction segment that reflect one another. The problem for me is that I found the NF section compelling but didn‘t much like the fiction section, which I felt was all over the place in a bad way. #TOB2026
pickAs @squirrelbrain noted, this book is violent, but I also wasn‘t put off by it - it was necessary to the story and didn‘t feel gratuitous. It was powerful to read this short book in one go. I was tense in my plane seat until the very end. A propulsive pick by a Brazilian writer from #TOB2026.
pickI‘m a definite Lacey fan and I loved this one. A brilliant structure - memoir and fiction that mirror each other in slightly off-kilter ways - gives insight into the ways writers‘ experiences make their way into their fiction. Thoughts on love, friendship, and heartbreak. Thoughts on writing and fiction and faith. I love Lacey‘s writing style and creativity with form. #TOB2026
